Bathymetry API Data Repetition

[SamVirsik]

I recently started working with the REST API for the NOAA bathymetry dataset so that I could do some coastal analysis I was interested in. I got API calls to work in python for a while, and I began reworking my code. After a while I realized that no matter which parameters I used in the API call the result was always the same image I loaded in one time early on. Now, no matter which location parameter I include, the API returns the same data always.

I do not have a ton of experience working with APIs, but I suspect the API has some kind of system in which it diverts to a previous data call if it is called a certain number of times (maybe a kind of cache system?).

Does anyone have any ideas why this problem might be occurring for me or how I might fix it? Here is the specific API I am working with, and I have included the API call I am using below: https://gis.ngdc.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/DEM_mosaics/DEM_tiles_mosaic/ImageServer

    url = 'https://gis.ngdc.noaa.gov/arcgis/rest/services/DEM_mosaics/DEM_tiles_mosaic/ImageServer/exportImage'
    params = {
        'bbox': self.box,  
        'bboxSR': '4326',  
        'size': self.size,  
        'imageSR': '4326',  
        'format': 'tiff',  
        'f': 'image'  
    }
    response = requests.get(url, params=params)

(where bbox is a coordinate of format: '-81.1, 24.75, -81.0, 24.7' and size is of format: '800, 800'

Actually never mind! I got it sorted. I had an error elsewhere in my code. Thanks!
